haha yea, I think he was offended that I inferred that this press release had to have had drugs involved.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

The world rolling around the Norman/OU community is that the protest was pretty pitiful - only 5 or 6 members showed up. However, it was estimated that 30-40 non-members also showed up, but may have been mostly local media, like the OU newspaper staff. I haven't heard if there was any substantial number of counter-protesters.

I heard that they were signing "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen as NWC workers walked by while holding signs about homosexuality hatred. Figure that one out.

Whether you were quoting or not, I took it that you were on board with what was being said...and it appears as if I was correct. Never once did I seekan apology....never once did I say that your thoughts should be censored. And no, I have no desire to let this spiral into the abyss here in S.T. If you ever get out in the alley during storm season, we can always meet each other and take it up from there if you wish, I'm out for a month each late May thru all of June, and I'm easy to track down. I believe what I wrote should be crystal clear, and I did it in as soft and as respectful manner as I'm capable of doing. Religion always being babied?

Well....a few moments have elapsed since my last post that I made to John...thanking him for essentially tugging my coattail and making me stop and come to my senses. I apologize to whomever had to read my post directly above his. I was getting up in the air like in days gone by, and it was wrong of me.
I don't make excuses when I'm in the wrong, I own up to it. This may shed some light as to explain what's going on. Ten years ago at a restaurant, one of my best friends for 25 yrs....who was 53 yrs. of age at that time and sitting with his wife....announced gleefully that "they were pregnant". He was a cross between a biker with a free-bird spirit....a guy that used to be a for-real "debt-collector" for undesirables yet with a good heart sometimes too....a strange mix. When he so proudly announced that they were pregnant, those of us close to him looked at each other, then started in with the "well that's great, but "what IF" ...."what if" "what if". They didn't want to hear it, of course. Well.....ten years later, here we are: She died of breast cancer 5 yrs. ago....and yesterday late afternoon I stood in his hospital room with his two boys ....aged 10 and 9...while the doctor unplugged his life support machine and let him die.......HepC and lastly bleeding thru into his brain was the reason for pulling his plug. So, in a couple of hours from now, I'm leaving home to go spend the night at his house with his 2 parent-less boys." What IF"...became "well....THIS IS WHY"....and now we're pickup up the pieces. As I write this I'm so sad I could cry....and at the same time I'm absolutely so efffin' angry I could chew through a steel cable right now. My apologies for letting my raw-ness override my sensibilities in my post. Thank you again John, for saying the right words gently, and making me take a breath.
